CRUSHED IN THE WRECK.
BAD SMASH-UP ON THE MILWAUKEE
RAILWAY NEAR CANTON, OAK.

Three People Killed and Several Sc
vereIy Hurt---Five Persons Lose Their
Lives In n Collision of Trains Oh tho
Same Road Near Dubuque, iowa.
CANTON, Oak, Sept. ga bad wreck
occurred on the Milwaukee road, near the
Sioux crossing, three miles east of Can
ton. Passenger train No. 2, bound east,
j. N. Morse, conductor, ran into the rear
end of freight train No. ~, both trains
going at full speed. The freight train
was switching at Inwood, Iowa, and the
rear brakes were not set. The rear part
Of the train came laundering down grade
toward Canton, distance of several
miles, and collided with the passenger.
Following is list of the killed:
Andrew Derreth. who was in the
freight caboose asleep, lives at
Rock Valley, Iowa, and leaves a
family; W. A. Plogg, of McGrcgor, Iowa,
passenger engineer, leaves family;
Charles Dunbar, of Mason City, Iowa,
passenger fireman.
The bodies have all been taken from
the wreck, and wrecking trains from both
directions are clearing away the debris.
Assistant Superintendent Gable, of Mason
City, is on the ground experimenting the
work. Ten passengers were in the
smoker, one in the express car and about
twenty in the first class coaches. Their
escape is truly miraculous. One baggage
and one mail car, locomotive, one smoker,
six cars Of wheat, one car of cattle and
the freight caboose are piled into heaps or
scattered over the prairie. Curious sight
seers line the road to the wreck and sur
round the scene. Twenty members OF
the Canton band left the train at this
point ten minutes before the accident.
They were in the smoker which was q
short time afterward shattered into splin-
tiers. The collision occurred near
the edge Of the high bridge across the
Sioux and ten seconds difference in
time would have thrown both trains into
the river. The blame is attached TO G. II.
Milliken, conductor Of the freight, for not
setting his brakes at Inwood. Che bodies
of the dead are lying at the depot i'll this
city awaiting a coroner's inquest. The
accident occurred just across the Iowa
and Dakota line, and the coroner of Lyon
county, iowa, has arrived here to hold an
inquest. C. II. Milliken, the conductor
of the freight, finished his run, but the
whole crew will be removed by the COM
pany. 1t is probable the freight train
crew will be prosecuted for criminal neg
Hgence. Assistant Superintendent Gable
is still here The track will be cleared so
that night trains can pass. The wreck is
an expensive one for the company, both
trains being completely shattered.

Tho Bacon Trade I'm England.

way company, in which It is charged the
company discriminatcs against regular
passengers in issuing tickets to cInigrant
and land surveyors at largely reduced
rates. .e.
Maj. Postlethwait, general land agent of
the company; explained the system Of
land sales. The land was oil appraised
and brought 50 to SO per acre, depending
on its character and location. On all
lines east Of the Missouri the
company accepted preferred stock
in the road at its face value and
as the market value was SO cents,
These rates Maj. Postlethwaite eX-
planned were only made to those who
went out to view the lands. II TIE pros

this rate WAS made to Ill actual settlers.

! PHILADEGPHIA, Sept. 16-The last CEN

All the hotels were filled to overflow

! Of surplus space had been filled with
cots. 1t is safe to say there are 200. 900
visitors from distance, hardly state or
| territory remains to be represented in the
| three days festival. The streets to-day
present an appearance that is lovely in
| the extreme. The monster civic and in

! Dauphine streets shortly after 10 o'clock
and marched to BROAD and Moore streets,
distance Of nearly five miles, and then
returned to the starting point, passing
| through one continuous line of observa-
ton stands gaily decorated with the flags
| of all nations. The scene at the grand
reviewing stand opposite the Union
| League clubhouse Oh Broad street, just
! below Ransom, was u grand one The
| stands on either side of Broad street were
filed with people, and the gay colors of
| the ladies' and children's raiment lent
| beauty to the magnificent and elaborate
| decorations of the various stands them
selves.
The head OF the procession, led by a
Gordon of mounted police, reached the
| city hall, Broad and Market staeets, at
! II 40. The crowd was SO immense at
this point that the police had great diff
Guilty in driving them back. The mon
ster civic industrial parade, illustrating
| the advancement of the industrial arts
and sciences during the past century, it
is believed fairly eclipsed anything of the
kind ever known. There were in line
800 floats, each bearing representative
of some particular. branch of industry,
12, 800 horses and 80 bands of music.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 15.-The interstate
commerce commission continued to take
evidence ia the charges brought against
the Milwaukee rosd By the bGards ct
trade of Pennington, Northfield, GWa-
tonna and Faribault.
A. ID. Keys, of Farihault, appeared
for the union He said there were five
points at ISSUE, which are substantially
summed up in The charges of unjust, UNI
reasonable and discriminating rates made
by the Milwaukee from the union towns.
The hub of the trouble vas thar ~. the
river division the rate is - cents, while
on adjacent divisions it is Is cents, and
the question to be determined by the
commission was whether the different
divisions were the same line in the mean
ing of the statute.
i. a. Bean, proprietor of the Polar
Star nisll at Faribanlt, vas next sworn.
He says what miller vents on the
/. e. M. division now is a rate out OF
Minneapolis which will be fair as conf
pared with similar rate out of Mime
apoiis on the river division. The tran-
sit system was only applied to Chicago;
| if it was so extended that Faribault mil
| lers could ship out their transit TO Iowa
points instead of Chicago, they could use
| all their transit.
